PARLIAMENT AND 2YC
Sir-wWith regard to the article, "Parliament and 2YC," I feel that the official defence is only half the story. The fact is that the whole of the central districts of the North Island appear to be badly served from a musical point of view. We live in a musical vacuum which can only be appreciated if you are transferred, as we have been, from close to Auckland or,Wellington to this area, which stretches roughly from Wanganui to Gisborne, and includes such populous areas as Hamilton. Not only is it very difficult to receive the YC stations, but the YZ stations, which we are largely compelled to listen to, -have a programme which is definitely inferior to the YA stations. Why is this? Is it because it is considered that people in provincial areas are less well informed and educated than those in the cities? After all, we pay the same licence fee and should therefore be entitled to similar reception, within reason, to those people who are fortunate enough to live in the larger
centres,
